This campground is in an area with several boat launch spots so it gets very noisy. It is also very windy here with no trees. There is a pay box before entering the campground, the fee is $10 a night. The campsites each have a shelter, picnic table,and fire ring that has an adjustable grate. The area has two pit toilets that are taken care of but heavily used. There are plenty of places to fish and four wheel.

We spent two nights here and it was amazing. This is a fee area to camp and has a pay box at each end of the camp road. Even though this is a pay envelope area there is a camp host who you should check in with to find out about the area and any wildlife that has been seen around the campground. There are picnic tables, fire rings with grates, charcoal grills, and bear boxes for each site. At least some of the sites also have a pad for tents. The campground also has three pit toilets which are well maintained and a boat launch with dock for non-motorized boats. Your boat must have a current mussel tag to be used in Wyoming. We brought a canoe with us because there are several lakes in the vicinity but only paddled this one which was a lot of fun. The lake here can also be fished. Nearby this campground there are some trails to hike or horseback ride also. There were a few drawbacks to this campground. The ATV and vehicle traffic on the main road is pretty heavy especially on saturday and sunday and it can be heard very well in the campground. The other drawback was the mosquitoes, being near a lake I was expecting there to be a lot and there were, so bring bug spray. Other than that this campground offers a lot of opportunity for things to do.

The campground is within 15 minutes of Colorado Springs and Fort Carson, so expect to hear reveille in the morning if you are up at 6:30 am or are a light sleeper. When checking in at the camp office/ May Natural History Museum we were given some brochures for the area which came in handy while exploring and finding things to do. The sites are close together but have more than enough room for a vehicle and tent. I was not pulling a trailer, but if you are there is a sharp turn and uphill to get to the campsites. The road is paved until the top of the hill and then turns to gravel which is very well maintained, however if there has been a lot of rain the road does get soft. Every site has a picnic table, fire pit, and wi-fi (at no extra charge) throughout the campground. There are two shower houses/ bathrooms which are cleaned at least twice a day are are in pretty good shape. There is a fishing pond which you can fish for $6.00 a day even without a state license. There are two hiking trails that wrap kind of around Cheyenne Mountain and they offer some nice views. There is also a playground in the middle of the campground for the kids. All in all this was a nice campground to stay in. The only reason i don't give it five stars is the proximity of the sites to one another.
